Nicollette Sheridan

Desperate Housewives was the a huge conversation piece around watercoolers across America when it aired in 2004. Blonde bombshell, Nicollette Sheridan was the perfect casting to play Edie Britt, an overly dramatic, scandalous, and well-off housewife living in the suburbs.

She would later join the cast of the reboot of Dynasty, but her role as Alexis Carrington would be short-lived. A family emergency would derail her intentions of developing the character further, with her mother falling critically ill at the time. Elaine Hendrix would step into Sheridan’s shoes on Dynasty, showing the world a different take on Alexis.
